    Summary

    Carlos is having the strangest dreams, and the strangest headaches, like there's something he's supposed to be remembering. Not to mention the intern's wedding coming up, and that new chemical StrexCorp wants him to develop. It's going to be a busy week.

    Home is in my mind
    Half remembered, half buried
    Home is where the heart is

    Summary

    The video, when they Skype, is clearer, though the sound is delayed on Carlos's side. Or rather, the video is premature; at Carlos's best estimate, he receives the visual transmissions ten seconds before they're recorded. He's getting used to seeing Cecil's expressions in reaction to what he's just about to say.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "They will pay for this," Cecil says, so softly Carlos can only make out the words by reading the movement of Cecil's lips. "Oh, they will pay, pain for pain, thrice over, that they hurt an innocent, a simple creature that never did them or their precious financial interests any harm. We will make them pay..."

    Perhaps Khoshekh was not ripped from the air, but rather threw himself from it. Tore himself from where he belonged, as painful and as possibly permanent as that displacement was, to defend something more important than his own unique existence. Someone more important

    Summary

    Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

    But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.
